http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/14.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net CSMs and thinking "troop choice number 2" but I want to avoid reworking more CSMs...

Anyways, here is what I have so far for my little Chapter. They're more Iron Hands exiles, kicked off Medusa for not believing in the right baloney. They have yet to be ratified or even reported as exiled so they're pretty small, no companies, just a few Astartes of kicking butt, hoping the Emprah doesn't deem them heretics....


Chapter Master
Terminator Armour
Shield Eternal
Thunder Hammer
Digi Weapon
Auspex
total 260

Tactical Squad
10 man
Plasma gun
Heavy Bolter
Combi Plas
Chainsword free
Teleport Homer
total 185

Rhino
HK Missile


Dreadnought
Venerable
TL Lascannon
Heavy Flamer
total 160

Predator
TL Lascannon
Las Sponsons
HK Missile
total 150

Obviously we need another Tac squad, I can run them as 5 man if I want to play for now but defs gonna want the extra full troop slot.

I want to keep it fluffy, so here is what I was thinking

HQ2: Either a Chaplain, a Librarian or a Forge Master. Gotta remember these dudes are out crusading without a permit, might be good to have someone looking after their souls...

FA: Some scout bikes for sure. I love locator beacons infiltrating, what can I say?

HS: I like the Stalker here really

Elite: Here is the tough one! Do I grab some pals for the Chapter Master or what?


Drop Pods, whats the best way to dole out some turn 1 shooty goodness? Also should I double up on the Rhinos? Or just have one plinkbox?

I also face a lot of Tau and Deldar too so any tips there as far as list building would be great!

This is what I'd do. Drop hk missiles, venerable status, heavy bolter and chainsword. Then look at your hq. for a thousand point list 260 points for one dude is a lot. I'd cut the digital weapons and auspex at least.

You'll now have a lot more points to play with, mainly, you'll be able to afford that 2nd troop choice which is manditory and should have gone in before your extras.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/570118/6376884.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/570118/6376884.page GMT
This "list" is really just a tally of what I currently own. I WAS hoping for some input as to what to maybe purchase next, to help round out my selection.

You see I don't have a million dollars to throw around so whatever I PAY for has to be something I'll use.

And yeah, as stated, obviously I need troop number 2. The Auspex seems like a waste, but you tell me, what the heck is the CM gonna do in his shooting phase with no ranged weapons? Might as well have the option to use him if he's not locked in combat right? Also, why drop Venerable status? TL Las has failed me before, at least this way if it does it's because I rolled snake eyes.

I'm sorry I don't want to seem like I'm being resistant to criticism, but I would like some relevant ideas. The title of the thread was "Help Complete This List" after all.

But hey, not like anyone had any interest anyways, so... drift back into miasma ye pitiful thread!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/570118/6378816.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/570118/6378816.page GMT
Personally I prefer having 1 ground pounding squad to hang back and guard rear objectives, and then some Drop Pods and Rhinos to bring everything up quickly.

After your troops and some stronger heavies or elites, I would suggest buying an Aegis defense Line. Not only are they good Anti Air, but help you guard the blob hanging back. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/570118/6378857.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/570118/6378857.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/570118/6378888.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/570118/6378888.page GMT
